The photos are of the mausoleum located above the Pfaffenstiege. The mausoleum is the burial site of the Auersperg princely family. Erected by Karl, Prince of Auersperg in 1911. (Information panel at the mausoleum)

The Pfaffenstiege was first mentioned in 1733. Until the founding of Maria Laah in 1786, it was used by the clergyman residing at Losensteinleithen Castle for his daily walk to mass in Maria Laah. (Sign at the foot of the stairs)

Fantastic pastries. Tip: Baumberger Törtchen

The Bründl is located on the north side of the building opposite the church

The beautiful castle on the quiet side street now houses a hunting museum

Bernhard von Losenstein had the current castle built in 1515 and gave it the name "Losensteinleiten". When a Turkish army under Kassim Pasha made the area unsafe in 1532, the castle suffered greatly. It is said that a hunter defended himself with many guns and shot a Turkish leader. This heroic act frightened the Turks and they fled. Between 1550 and 1570, the castle was enlarged by Georg Achaz von Losenstein. His wife was called Christina von Bergheim. The family died out with Franz Anton von Losenstein in 1692. The property passed to the Princes of Auersperg and their successors until 1950. From 1955 to 1993, Losensteinleiten Castle was owned by the Camillian Order, which ran a private high school with public rights until 1976. From 1978 to 1983, the Upper Austrian state government housed an agricultural college for girls. From 1985 to 1993, the Camillians ran the St. Kamillus retreat and education center in Losensteinleiten Castle, with a focus on the training and further education of people working in the service of the sick, especially in the denominational hospitals in Austria.
